After reading both of the articles on blogs, and the web comic, I feel like I have a better understanding of our general lesson on rhetorical strategies and how different mediums provide different types of strategies that can be employed in making your point. The article, The Practice of News Blogging by Axel Bruns, and Journalists and News Bloggers: Complements, Contradictions, and Challanges by Jane B. Singer gave me a better understanding on the important role the blogosphere is making its' way in our modern society and how it is changing journalism. The articles clearly pointed out how blogs is changing the news media, and how it affects us, but more importantly what role it plays in politics, and also in American democracy. In short, news blogging provides a more democratic medium in which people can collectively voice their opinions on different topics.
